English term or phrase:droop
I have already posted some of this here, but am confused
These two have been defined by peers:
droop engine control module (Motordrehzahlreglermodul)
quadrature droop kit (Statik-Montagesatz)
What can I use for:
"droop kit"
"droop CT"
and for
"quadrature" ?? Happy to repost as indiv. questions when I can, just need urgent help!
Explanation: Hi Stephen, I remember looking for something to suggest as you asked about "droop motor" a couple of days ago, but I couldn't really come up with anythinguseful. This may not help, but then again...
According to my Compact (!) Dictionary of Exact Science and Technology by Kucera (Vol. I, 2nd Ed.) "droop" can be translated as follows:
"droop n (Telecomm) / Dachschräge f (eines Impulses - negative, positive); - (the offest resulting from a no-load to full-load change or other specified limits) (Automation) / Proportionalabweichung f, P-Abweichung f, proportionale Regelabweichung; - nose (Aero) / absenkbare Rumpfnase; - snoot * (Aero) / absenkbare Rumpfnase; - snoot * (Aero) / Kanzel f mit Bodensicht"
Maybe that will help you or the others. :-)

Kucera suggest the following for "quadrature": "quadratue * n (Astron) / Qudratur f, Geviertschein m (eine Konstellation); - * (Elec Eng, Telecomm) / Verschiebung f der Phase um 90', Phasenquadratur f (90'-Phasenverschiebung); - (Maths) / Quadratur f (Berechnung des Flächeninhalts krummlinig begrenzter ebener Flächen); - amplitude modulation (Radio, TV) / Quadraturmodulation f; -axis (Elec Eng) / Querachse f; - -axis component (Elec Eng) / Queranteil m, Querfeldkomponente f; {...} - current (Elec Eng) / Blindstromkomponente f; - power (Elec Eng) / Querreaktanz f, Querfeldreaktanz f"
Kucera enthält weder einen Eintrag für "quadrature droop kit" noch für "droop CT".

Das Wort "suggest" sollte "suggests" lauten und "quadratue" sollte "quadrature" lauten, usw. ;-)

Wenn "CT" = "current transformer", dann "current transformer" = "Stromwandler" (vgl. Kucera). ;-)
